2- "Alternative to VLC Ive used and loved VLC for
years but lately its been choking and dying for
no discernible reason and attempts to
troubleshoot have failed. Sadly I have to move on
to some VLC alternatives. Are there any other
media players better than VLC or comparable
alternatives to VLC media player?" - As one of the most popular media players in the
world, VLC media player gains great reputation
for its excellent service in movie playback.
However, with the the arising of Blu-ray and
copyright protection policies, VLC media player
currently couldnt remain to be the first choice
for home movie enjoyment. Many people are trying
to find a VLC player alternative, or even some
player thats better than VLC media player. - This post would share with you different VLC
alternatives. It should be noted that some of
these VLC alternatives may require you to install
3rd-party add-ons. You need to determine whether
or not you would like to switch your VLC to them. - Part 1 5 Alternatives to VLC Media Player for

3Part 1 5 Alternatives to VLC Media Player for
Windows
- 1. Leawo Free Blu-ray Player
- Leawo Free Blu-ray Player is an all-inclusive
movie player freeware that could play back all
kinds of movies, like Blu-ray, DVD, 4K movies,
1080P videos, ISO image file and even movie
audios. As a region free Blu-ray player software
program, it could help you easily play back the
latest released Blu-ray discs without quality
loss. Its also a free DVD player to play DVD
discs/folders, an ISO player to directly play
back ISO files, a free video player to play up to
1080P HD videos and a free audio player to play
even DTS-5.1 audio in lossless quality.
4- 2. RealPlayer
- RealPlayer is a popular media player over the
Internet. It supports various popular formats
including WMV, WMA FLV, AVI, MP3, MP4, 3GP and
more. In addition to this, it can convert your
video files into different formats and download
streaming content online, Whats more, you can
share your clips with friends on Facebook. But if
you want to get more features, you should pay
49.99 to get the RealPlayer Plus 16.
5- 3. KMPlayer
- KMPlayer would be a good VLC alternative when you
are looking for a bit more enhanced software for
your PC. One of the major reasons that made KM
Player popular is its support for a wide range of
formats, such as MKV, OGG, 3GP and FLV etc. And,
in general, those who have tried KMPlayer have
somewhat been forced to stick onto the player, as
KM Player offers a lot, for both common and
advanced movie freaks. KMPlayer supports 3D
Movies, though it does not consume that much
system resources and you can even turn non-3D
movies into 3D ones, if you have a 3D glass with
you.
6- 4. SMPlayer
- This VLC alternative is free and powerful enough
to handle almost all of your videos, regardless
of format. It comes with all the codecs it needs
bundled in. It has a built-in ability to remember
where you left off in a movie, and what settings
you were using, so you can pick right up where
you left off. SMPlayer is built on MPlayer, so if
youve used it before, youll be familiar with
SMPlayer. You can download subtitles for your
film, and you can search for and watch YouTube
videos on SMPlayer, too. There are cool filters
you can test out, and you can change the playback
speed in case youre out of time but you want to
finish the movie.
7- 5. Media Player Classic
- Media Player Classic is designed to be a compact,
no-frills sort of program, yet it does pretty
much everything youd expect from a media player.
It works straight from installation without
requiring any additional codec packs, except
maybe for the most obscure formats. Its
extremely lightweight and uses very few resources
while playing. It supports VCD, SVCD and DVD
playback, and with the support of DirectShow, it
could play media files in a vast array of video
format families including AVI, MPEG, MKV, MP4,
MOV, FLV, RM, WMV, MP3, AAC, FLAC, and a whole
lot more.
8Part 2 5 Alternatives to VLC Media Player for Mac
- 1. Leawo Free Blu-ray Player for Mac
- Similar to its Windows version, Leawo Free
Blu-ray Player for Mac offers multiple media
playback solutions for totally free. It could
work as region-free Blu-ray player (4K Blu-ray
disc supported), free HD video player (up to 4K),
free DVD player, free music player, and free ISO
file player. You could select subtitles and audio
tracks from source media files, or even add
external subtitles. The support of audio decoding
systems like Dolby, DTS, AAC, TrueHD, DTS-HD,
etc. delivers cinema like movie experience at
home with your Mac computer.
9- 2. MPlayerX
- MPlayerX is another open-source Mac video player
that is quite similar to VLC. Itll play a wide
range of video and audio files (again without the
need for any additional codecs or software) and
has a few other hidden features, such as
multi-touch and Apple Remote support. The
interface is based on that of QuickTimes with
the same minimal approach and one feature I love
about MPlayerX is the bookmark feature which
remembers where you played up to last time
something which I think every video player should
have.
10- 3. Movist
- Movist is a free, simple yet powerful player for
Mac. It supports QuickTime, FFmpeg as well as
subtitles. It is easy to use and available to
adjust aspect ratios and configure keyboard
shortcuts. It could even encode Quicktime and
FFmpeg on the fly.
11- 4. Miro
- Miro is an open-source media player with a
built-in torrent client and an interface that has
taken a few leaves out of the iTunes book.
Although it wont play media files different to
any other media player, it has a built-in video
converter with tons of presets (including for the
iPhone and iPad). You can also share your media
files over your local network with anyone who
also has Miro installed and theres an iPad
version in the works, which promises the ability
to stream and transfer videos and music to it.
12- 5. QuickTime
- As the default media player of Mac computer,
QuickTime is without doubt a wonderful
alternative to VLC media player for Mac users to
play movies. You dont need to install 3rd-party
media players. However, if you want to play
movies in different formats like WMV and MKV,
youd better install a QuickTime player plugin
like Perian. Otherwise QuickTime player may fail
to recognize WMV/MKV videos.
